Our Dancing Star Birth community

We’re all about helping you get connected with some of the best pregnancy and postpartum practitioners the Vancouver area has to offer – childbirth educators, doulas, lactation consultants, and more.) Here you can learn more about our core team of mentors as well as some of the practitioners we work closely within in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.

Over 3,000 new families have enjoyed our informative & transformative Birthing From Within childbirth classes. Together our team of Birthing from Within mentors represents over three decades of experience, and a collective 65 years of mothering our children. We actively support one another as mentors and seek to enhance what we offer our clients with each class we teach.
